Audit services

Grant Thornton's audit services are designed to go well beyond a sign-off of historical information, they provide insights that help businesses succeed.

Most entities today expect more than cost-efficiency from their audit. They want value-added service. Grant Thornton delivers both.

Entities selecting Grant Thornton to perform their audit are selecting a firm with a worldwide reputation for integrity and exceptional professional standards. Grant Thornton's reputation for independence, honesty, quality, and adherence to accounting and auditing standards is transferred to your financial statements when we sign our report on your statements. Our professional reputation is our most prized asset.

Our approach

is not that of a typical accounting firm which solely "looks in the rearview mirror" to see what happened last year. We are focused on the future and make every effort to add value to your organisation. To assist in accomplishing this objective, Grant Thornton has developed a new and revolutionary audit approach, Grant Thornton Horizon.

Grant Thornton is a leader in the use of advanced audit technology and we have the technology to achieve a "paperless" audit where this is cost effective. Technology allows us to reduce the time that was previously spent on various routine functions and enables us to extract and analyse data with a minimal amount of effort. As a result of this, we can concentrate our efforts on the business issues.

We are able to provide a range of additional audit services and skills suited to your organisation's particular needs.

• Internal audits
• Audit of a service performance (SSP)
• Corporate governance
• Trust account audits
• Due diligence review
• Fraud protection and investigation
• Prospectuses
• Review engagements/Agreed upon procedures
• Representation on audit committees.

"Our approach is a means to an end - it is not a rigid set of instructions that has no flexibility"
